TNECLIPSE03 · 02/05/2010, 04:55 AM

I don't think this is the right part of the forum to be posting this. But pics would help a lot, so people can see exactly what you mean. But I am a matching guy, so I would probably match it to the outside color.

I think you should paint it lime green with flames in the side.

in all seriousness, it has been proven (time and time again) that bright colors looks cheap and shitty on our interior.. heck, all most interiors. black is win.

Do you interior in titanium.

dmand4 · 02/05/2010, 09:46 AM

Leave it black or paint it silver. Don't go with blue and don't over do it.

SmoothGt · 02/05/2010, 10:54 AM

make it match the outside

Meest00GT · 02/05/2010, 11:59 AM

I agree, make it match. The key is to keep it subtle.

iride · 02/05/2010, 06:33 PM

not the right forum.

Secondly, just keep the dash black. You will thank yourself later down the road.

Youll regret it if you paint it. I did on my last car and now the only thing in the interior is two seats a steering wheel and a shift knob. So, DONT DO IT!

Either match the color or leave it alone.

The process that it's done is VERY detailed. If you think it's a simple as pulling the parts out, priming and painting - you're very wrong. It's more work than painting a body panel on a car. Requires a lot of sanding prep work, flex agents, and baking.

This is titanium pearl:

Installed - would be the same as this:

Listen to Hijacker.

+1 Hijacker - It is pretty big job to do, check out my ride you can see little of blue ive done be real careful i almost did to much myself. Ill add silver to mine also to hopefully make things little better. The process although not as complicated has hijackers does take some time and alot of steps to do it right like I did it.
